A PHP wrapper for the [Clef](https://getclef.com/) API. Authenticate a user and access their information in two lines of code.

You can sign up for a Clef account at .

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

PHP 5.3.3 and later.

Composer
--------

[](#composer)

You can install the bindings via [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/). Add this to your `composer.json`:

```
{
  "require": {
    "clef/clef-php": "1.*"
  }
}

```

Then install via:

```
composer install

```

To use the bindings, use Composer's [autoload](https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md#autoloading):

```
require_once('vendor/autoload.php');

```

Manual Installation
-------------------

[](#manual-installation)

If you do not wish to use Composer, you can download the [latest release](https://github.com/clef/clef-php/releases). Then, to use the bindings, include the `init.php` file.

```
require_once('/path/to/clef-php/init.php');

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

#### Logging in a user

[](#logging-in-a-user)

When a user logs in with Clef, the browser will redirect to your `data-redirect-url`. To retrieve user information, call `get_login_information` in that endpoint:

```
\Clef\Clef::initialize(APP_ID, APP_SECRET);
$response = \Clef\Clef::get_login_information($_GET["code"]);

```

For what to do after getting user information, check out our documentation on [Associating users](http://docs.getclef.com/v1.0/docs/persisting-users).

#### Logging out a user

[](#logging-out-a-user)

When you configure your Clef integration, you can also set up a logout hook URL. Clef sends a POST to this URL whenever a user logs out with Clef, so you can log them out on your website too.

```
\Clef\Clef::initialize(APP_ID, APP_SECRET);
$clef_id = \Clef\Clef::get_logout_information($_POST["logout_token"]);

```

For what to do after getting a user who's logging out's `clef_id`, see our documentation on [Database logout](http://docs.getclef.com/v1.0/docs/database-logout).
